Subject: You are SO confused about the Halo remake.

I think they did a terrible job getting this across, so I don't blame anyone who is freaking out about 343 screwing up multiplayer.

THERE IS NO HALO 1 MULTIPLAYER IN THE REMAKE.

The game will consist of a graphically redone campaign mode.

THE GAMEPLAY IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST GAME!

The physics, weapon damage tables, AI, animations, EVERYTHING.
It's all the same. The only things that have changed are models, textures, and lighting.

THE SEVEN MAPS ARE DLC FOR REACH.
That is why you see armor abilities and assassinations in the trailer. It is simply Reach with the new maps.

ALL OF THIS IS CONFIRMED BY 343's VIDOC.

I hope this clears up the confusion.

343 is doing this on purpose. It's called snake oil.

Too bad Halo CE multiplayer didn't make it in, I guess they didnt want to kill Reach just yet.


BETRAYALS ON CO-OP FOR MULTIPLAYER!!!

Not exactly. It got additions (i.e. Elites pulling out swords like in Halo 2). Hopefully, this will be something compatible with Halo PC/Custom Edition programs. Then I can do something about the physics and collision.

Oh and I was aware of the ViDoc. It's just that I don't turn the volume on.

Where do you see that the Elites have new animations? That can't be possible because you can push a button and in real time revert back to classic Halo 1.

The maps are not confirmed to be Reach DLC. Nobody knows for sure at this stage. They might just pull an ODST and stick Reach MP on the same disc.

I will say this though, classic maps with Reach gameplay would probably be awful. You can't just port maps and expect them to work.

It appears I was mistaken. The Elite was already holding the sword.

Sigh. I guess it's just a reskin.

This is probably true. I was just trying to get across that the maps have nothing to do with Halo 1 multiplayer.

Personally I am furious that they didn't do to Halo 1 multiplayer what they did to the campaign. I don't want to play Reach. I want to play Halo.

Same here, except I would have liked Reach engine for Campaign (because of all the defects that blemished the original's). On the other hand, I am glad that Ultra Elites (or are they Zealots) can leap jump. Halo 2 Zealots were pitifully insignificant when I jumped to higher ground.

Bungie already did that it's called team classic

i dont think that the maps will be a dlc because there are like 7 maps and if it will be a DLC, its gonna cost over $20

  • 06.06.2011 6:49 PM PDT

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

LMAO at this attempted "remake".

some much fail, so little time

Err...you must be the MS price point guy?

Everything is subject to change, who is to say some items shown were not place holders? I would say just wait a few months see what happens and calm down.
